Eller’s book Becoming Ray Bradbury which I highly recommend to anyone interested in Bradbury’s early career. Other valuable resources were Dr. Phil Nichols’...

Barnaby Druthers is a bumbling British detective who, along with Harper Thorne, solves mysteries in these original audio theater productions. This story is a work of fiction but it revolves around a murder that occurred at a prominent London theater and the ghostly sightings that were attributed to be related to this true event.

OUR MISS BROOKS Ryan Ellett Our Miss Brooks took its first tentative step toward reality during the weekend of April 10-11, 1948, when an audition show featuring Shirley Booth was cut in New York City. CBS head William Paley was directly involved in the show’s development and when he and Booth couldn’t see eye to eye on the new program, Booth was dropped from the project. Joan Blondell was briefly considered for the part but Eve Arden eventually landed the lead role. A second audition...

I've mentioned some of my favorite radio actors throughout the Spooktacular but we've yet to hear from my all time favorite, Orson Welles. We're about to remedy that. Welles had a very distinct voice and even as a young man in his early twenties, during the late 1920s, he was in great demand to perform on a multitude of shows in a variety of roles. According to Welles, he was working on so many shows that he needed to rent an ambulance to race him across New York (which was actually perfectly...
